Geir Myrvang’s final day in SF before heading down South for a bit. Photos by Travis Knapp-Prasek.

Breakfast time Nollie Shove It in between the N Judah tracks.

Still being a kid at the playground. Nollie Backside Tailslide on some good old fashioned plastic butter benches.

Crooked grind to fakie on the man made Treasure Island, where you just might encounter 13 year old security guards telling you skateboarding on the sidewalk isn’t allowed.

A few hours before he put this Switch Crooked Grind down on the way to the Pink Taco, Geir mentioned how he hadn’t run into any cops in his 3 weeks of being in America. Well he met his first ones shortly after rolling away.

More nomadic wandering with Geir Myrvang in the heart of San Francisco. Photos by Travis Knapp-Prasek.

Starting the day off with a Smith Grind on an Inner Sunset ledge after pushing from the Outer Sunset.

Hiking Mount Sutro involves climbing rocks, dodging pricker bushes, and eventually finding a nice smooth trail to bomb down. Ollie over the chain while birds chirp like it ain’t nothing butta g thing.

Somehow and for some reason this was setup nearly perfectly to skate. Too bad Geir didn’t grab the metal sign we saw at the chain spot even though he said he wanted it. This Launcher was motivated by the promise for a free burrito upon a 1st try land. Well, he got his burrito.

A nose manual followed up by a hill bomb that would put all sour thoughts to rest.

Coastal Roaming

Some days ya just feel like hanging out by the water and skating whatever you stumble upon. Norwegian rider Geir Myrvang and team manager Travis Knapp-Prasek wandered the Northwest side of SF utilizing whatever they found.

Travis 5050′s up and out of the ledge in front of Wise Surf Shop.

Geir frontside Five O grinds a bench while the maintenance guy for the Cliff House restaurant harbors anger and resentment for us scuffing up those non city but on federal property benches.

Geir kickflips in some dirt because well, there was no concrete around and the view was priceless.

Travis just setting off a frontside shove it on a bank that required a hop, skip, and a jump to get too.

Geir nosepicks to fakie on the janky banky.

Travis frontside ollies while the tide gets low.
